How to Live is a superb, spirited introduction to the master, and should have its readers rushing straight to the essays themselves
Adam Thorpe, Guardian
Bakewell writes with verve. This is an intellectually lively treatment of a Renaissance giant and his world
Daily Telegraph
Illuminating and humane book... It's rare to come across a biographer who remains so deliciously fond of her subject... How to Live will delight and illuminate
Independent
Sarah Bakewell has written a marvellously confident and clear introduction to Montaigne...a rare achievement. Sarah Bakewell deserves congratulations for opening Montaigne to new readers so very appealingly
Evening Standard
With this splendidly conceived and exquisitely written double biography - of both Montaigne the man and Montaigne the book - Sarah Bakewell should persuade another generation to fall in love with Montaigne
